I can't say I really like his way of doing the form...but hey, after all who am I??? I am an absolute "0" in Tai Chi above all in Chen style.
So just forget my words and let the real experts in for the 2 cents.

I'm not an expert at Chen but I do train it and I agree with you charyuop.

Interesting. Reminds me a little of Erle Montaigue teaching his "Old Yang Lu Chan" form, where he says "...and now you have learned your first fa jing movement". So this Master is showing us where he thinks the fa jing moves in his Chen form are. I have a chinese language cd of the wu/hao style where the master (and he is elderly) makes loud vocalizations while performing. I guess there are alot of additional things that can be added while performing the set. thanks for showing it.

When the threads themselves have music maybe it will sound like that.

But have to agree on Chen family it is just easier to see what they are into why they are doing what they are doing.

So, my question is which threads would have heavy metal as the music cause i have a feeling all the taiji threads will have Chinese music.
